New Beginnings Animal Rescue is conducting a WoofTrax Shoes for Shelters Shoe Drive through Nov. 10. Collection bins are located at the East Brunswick Recreation Department, Dunhams Corner Road, and at New Beginnings, 706R Cranbury Road, East Brunswick.
The goal is to collect 2,500 pairs of new and gently used shoes. All donated items will be redistributed through the Funds2Orgs network of micro-enterprise partners in developing nations, helping impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses. New Beginnings will earn funds based upon the number of pairs of shoes collected. The East Brunswick Youth Council is coordinating the drive. Shoes of all types, including sneakers, sandals, flip flops and boots in wearable condition, will be accepted.
